Brandon O’Dell introduced speakers Steve Shelters and Kyle Rahr of Raven and Rune. They are contractors and cousins.
Steve purchased the former Vikings building on Washington Street, with the intention of creating a space for weddings and receptions. As the building formerly housed the Beer Snob, they decided to operate the bar. Following the Vikings theme, they named the bar for Rune, a Nordic God who had ravens, thus naming it Ravens and Rune.
Kyle, a long-time local bartender, runs the bar which he emphasized is open to all people, not just for certain groups, as a melting pot.
